Hello there TAY, how are you all doing this wonderful Tuesday? Because I am DOING GREAT! Had my entrance exams last Sunday and I rocked it. I was honestly surprised by how easy the whole thing was, finishing it with hours to spare. So ye, I’m in a very good mood and I hope you are too.

Haloween is gone, no more spooky scary skeletons, unless you’ve bought Soma like I did (and with money from Steam trading cards no less. Why do people buy these, I’ll never know). I’ve been meaning to play that for a good while and now is finally the time. I also bought Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 and I’m in love with it, especially now that my thumb pain is no longer a concern. I can’t find a soul to play online with but hey, that’s what friends are for right?

Besides that, I’ve been getting a “Thread Stuck in Device Driver” error lately that seems to be related to my graphics card. Really not looking forward to buying yet another one, especially given that I just bought a new fan. Oh well, here’s some GG tunes to celebrate I guess :P

Baiken is Love, Baiken is Dustloop

And here’s today’s questions:

I was playing Ys the other day and something hit me: Devs don’t really make “Thank You For Playing Screens” often these days. Do you remember them? If so, what are your favorites?

Speaking of old things: Favorite Cheat Codes? Anything that makes the game silly for me works, my personal favorite: Canadian Laser Bears in Age of Mythology.

How’s your GOTY list so far?

What old relics do you still hold on to this day? Consoles, old music CDs, what have you.
